Breaking Up Is Hard to Undo

Kelly and Zack have been going steady for 68 days, 14 hours, and 38 minutes (but who's counting). Slater and Jessie have been kind-sorta dating since the prom, and they've decided to make it official. (Personally, I think Slater's just settling because he can't get Kelly).

Saturday is Zack and Kelly's 10-week anniversary, and Zack wants to do something special. But Kelly's old friend (and ex-boyfriend!) Todd Winfield is in town. Zack gets pissed and tells her to marry him and have lots of kids. See if he cares!

Slater and Jessie are going out Saturday to make their romance official. There's only one problem. Jessie has tickets to the ballet. But Slater has L.A. Raider tickets! Slater's obviously sexist and this budding romance has hit the rocks already. Meanwhile, Zack gives kelly an ultimatum. Either she cancels the date or they stop seeing each other. Kelly gives Zack his ring back, which I guess means they're broken up.

We're at the the student council meeting. An argument erupts over new uniforms vs. a dance department. An even bigger argument erupts in Belding's office. Apparently Slater is a chauvinistic meathead, and Kelly is a cheating tramp. Don't worry though. Belding is more than happy to show them how a meaningful, mature relationship works.

Oh no! Belding's mother in law is in town, and she insists on staying at the Belding house, even though they agreed to get her a hotel room. Becky Belding throws him out of the house, so he's quick to come to the aid of poor Zack and Slater.

We're in Zack's room, and he and Slater are waiting for their girlfriends to call. Belding shows up (Wait. Principals can't go to students' houses!) and he wants to bond. He buys pizza, and informs us that guys take care of guys. Lisa shows up, and Jessie and Kelly want to make up. Belding convinces them that it's a bad idea to give in now. Thanks, but no thanks.

The next morning, the ghost of Kelly shows up in a halter top and ripped jeans. She's everywhere, from his mirror to his closet. Zack thinks he's losing it. And apparently Slater is seeing Jessie's face everywhere. They realize that Belding is horrible at giving advice, and Zack hatches another brilliant plan.

Belding goes crawling back to Becky, but not before we hear the greatest macho cheer in the history of macho cheers.

1,2,3 GUYS!

Cut to the Max. Welcome to the "What I Should Have Said Theatre." It's a glorified apology, and it even includes Slater ballet dancing. Everything is back to normal at Bayside.




QUOTES!
Jessie: Do you like this shake Slater?
Slater: I like it when you shake, Momma!

Slater (to Jessie): Hey who are you calling meathead, skinnylips?

Screech: When elephants fight, only the grass suffers.

Belding: Men don't need women. Women need men! It's in their genes!
